LOL

When you're going to attempt a lame deflection into spelling, Larry, you should first check your facts.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary -- the gold standard -- it is spelt "sceptical"

[QUOTE]I occasionally review the dozen golf discussion forums I am a member of.[/QUOTE]

You meant "of which I am a member"... ...right?

[QUOTE]And I follow only one or two threads. I may or may not post. Then I am gone. But you see high numbers of posts in those threads because my posts often foster dozens of replies and then replies to the replies. I seldom see all that because I am long gone; don't like to waste time at my age. See ya.[/QUOTE]

Seems to me you've wasted plenty on "lessons that have cost more than [my] house" (yes, folks, he actually said that)...

...because you still can't actually break 90 on a regular basis.

[QUOTE=Not a hacker]
P.P.S. HB, I just noticed how many posts we've put up on this board. I am quite alarmed that I'm approaching 4,000 without even realising I went over 3,000. I really need to get a life. Anyway congratulations to whoever of us is the first to crack the 4,000. On the subject of posts, I am more than a little sceptical about LarryRSF's tally of only 375. He seems to have posted far more times than that.[/QUOTE]

I read this last night and chuckled but didn't want to comment. I felt that it wouldn't be appropriate to bring up 200 posts with an off topic post. Now I can see that 200 is up so I will respond. :)

In terms of getting a life I was driven to my PC by my wife's choice of TV viewing last night. The Bachelor! Given the option I will choose GR anytime. However I then stayed up and watched R Federer in the semi of the French Open. He won a 5 setter and is now in the final - and man am I tired! Hope he wins the final as it will shut up all the naysayers who claim he can't win on Clay. What crap! This is his 4th consecutive final FFS!!!

Better go get breakfast. Teeing off at 10.30am (an hour and a half from now).

P.S. DM has already cracked 6000 posts.

Larry[/QUOTE]

Wow, in just one post, Larry incorrectly corrects another poster's spelling, accuses golf forum posters of communication deficiencies and then ends a sentence with a preposition and criticizes others for being time wasters not realizing that if you google "Time Wasters" his own name and photo show up in the first result.

This should make him a shoe-in for GRIPOY (ironic post of the year) GRHPOY (hypocritical post of the year) and GRHMMHSUMAAICGIO (help me my head's stuck up my ass and I can't get it out) awards.

Congratulations, Larry.

I'm looking forward to "Larry Unplugged".

Oh poor Larry......so much negativity. Larry is truely special if he can generate so much talk. What is more pathetic? Larry' crazy advice which flip flops from day to day or to the nonsensical ramblings of his many fans who just cant say what they gotta say and shut up?

First you say Larry"s special because he generates so much response. Then you seem to criticize the people who respond. Although I haven't seen a sentence so convoluted, unclear and poorly reasoned since my English for Immigrants course.

Please edit for logic and clarity. I can recommend several good courses for people for whom English isn't their first language if at some point you plan to take your high school equivalency test.

Yes that is correct.

Yeah I thought it was me caught lurking in the shadows, at the back of the crowd, with pockets full of feces ready to throw at the passing parade. But given the hard time that you and Lorenzo have given me this week I thought it best not to nit pick and pull NAH up on this minor detail! :)

WHOA!!!

I'm not sure Lorenzo would approve of the use of the word 'fond'. Sounded a bit gay or even Shottalk like to me so I have edited your statement to something more appropriate. I recommend you do the same thing immediately! :)

How was your weekends golf?

I played in an ambrose tournament today and my foursome shot a 6 under 66. One bogie, 7 birdies and the rest par. The bogie hole was a par 3 where they drew a card and whatever number came up was the iron you had to play. It's a hole I normally play an 8 or 9 iron on and I drew a 5 iron. Tried to hit an easy punch shot and came up about pin high but pushed it right. Everyone else missed too and although we chipped it close nobody made the putt :mad:

I didn't play great overall and wouldn't have had a very good score on my own but I contributed a few good drives and made a few long birdie putts and on the second to last hole (a par 5) stuck a 52* wedge to 3 feet for the birdie putt.

I don't normally like this type of format but hadn't played in one for ages and actually found it a lot of fun. Anyway despite thinking we'd done well we came in about 8th. Some team shot shot 60 off the stick!!!

Is ambrose a 4 man best ball scramble (everyone hits shot, use best, etc all the way including putts?)

My company has one of these and my team has a good shot at posting a solid score but I know last year the team that won came in with a 52 =/ 1st place is 4 rounds at a $500 course for everyone on the winning team. Amazing prize for a fun company tourn

Kiwi, I appreciate your guidence and of course I mean't you are a good bloke, but real men can be fond of each other without being gay, can't they?
I don't think my original post is shottalky at all, they never express emotions there.

Thanks for asking about my round yesterday, seeing you asked I will give you the run down. It was monthly medal, playing stroke off the back tees. Started at 7.40 am. and didn't get to bed until after midnight Friday as I went to the footy at the dome. Felt tired and sore,bogeyed 4 of the first five and thought here we go, another very average round. But you never know in golf, played the next 13 even par, including 35 (1 under round the back) one birdie one bogey finished 76/69 and got pipped by one shot for the medal. CCR was 74 so did a full shot and came from 7 exact to 6.0. I was a bit dissapointed at coming so close (never won a medal) but had to be happy with my round. Hit every faiway but one, long approach shots because of the back tees so didn't hit many greens but got up and down from everywhere.
BTW I really enjoy ambrose but don't get to play it much

I had the opposite type of round on Saturday. I was tired too after staying up and watching the French Open tennis all night so wasn't expecting to play well. However I parred the 1st 3 holes and birdied the 4th and thought what a great start. Then I tripled the 5th after hooking a drive and losing it and then shot another triple on the 6th. Ended up with a pretty ordinary 85.

As you say, you never know in golf! :(

BTW hard luck on just missing out on winning the medal.

What footy game was it?

C'mon guys, let's stay on topic here! Discussions need to at least MENTION swing the clubhead. :D

Larry hasn't responded in a few days. Doesn't he normally swing (the clubhead) on by and check up on his threads? We need another post from him to keep us on topic. Larry, if I prefer to swing the grip or shaft, rather than the clubhead, what will happen to my game?

How many more of these 'sandbagger posts' does he need to get his handicap back to 'where it should be' to overcome those two nonsensical 9 hole cards that made him a 6? Then he can start posting his true sub 80 rounds on tough championship tracks.

[B]What footy game was it?[/[/B]QUOTE]

Game was Bulldogs vs. Tigers. Terry Wallaces last game as coach. My brother in law is a member and full on bulldogs supporter so i was basically accompanining him. Richmond put up a little fight first half but Bulldogs dominated the second and won by 68 points. Plenty of goals kicked.
I suppose Wallace will now have plenty of time to 'swing the clubhead".

To me, Swinging The Club Head means one is able to feel and control the position of the club head as well as the direction of the club face while making a golf swing. Stiffer shaft helps.

Damnit NaH. It is quite pathetic to think I'm around 4,000 posts.
I watched a video on fundamentals on Saturday and realized my grip is terrible. I went to the range and tried the new "correct" grip and had mixed results (some good, some absolutely atrocious). Then I took my new grip and played a match against an 18 handicap fossil (think Larry's age) who thumped my 3 and 2 to lose in the first round of my club's handicapped match play tourney. That brings my matchplay record at the SPCC to a dismal 3-6. I should have brushed up on BPC's magnus opus thread.

Are you kidding, HB, 4,000 posts is resume material. What employer or financier wouldn't be impressed? I also find it useful when I meet the ladies. I always let it drop that I have over 3,000 posts on a golf forum. I know it's not as impressive as 4,000, so I try and act really modest about it.

Congratulations in advance on the 4,000. You should have your wife throw you a party or something.

[QUOTE=No_Idea]To me, Swinging The Club Head means one is able to feel and control the position of the club head as well as the direction of the club face while making a golf swing. Stiffer shaft helps.[/QUOTE]

I think it is the opposite of that. Ernest Jones taught students to swing a small weight on a string WITH the golf club. The idea to learn to keep the two together, a smooth accelerating swing that uses centrifugal force to keep the clubhead on the circumference of the swing circle. The grip pressure must be very light and exert NO leverage on the club handle, just let it "flail."

That is also the skill required to hit the Whippy Training clubs-- and the reason long drive competitors train with those. They know they achieve the highest clubhead speed at impact by eliminating casting-- which is caused by leverage.

So obviously the concept behind "Swing the Clubhead" is the same one used by long drive artists--

The only strategy I applied consistently was playing like sh!t.

I'm playing a qualifier this next week. I got good advice from a mini-tour pro last week. He told me not to work on any part of my swing. Just to go to the range a few times between now that the qualifier and hone the swing I have. It seems to be working. I'm getting pretty confident in my misses which is half of the battle. The other thing he's recommended is to practice 100's of 4-6 footers between now and then. We'll see. I have to shot about 78 to make the event on a pretty standard track (i'm a 6 right now). Played a round last Friday at a tough course and shot 78 (6600 yard, 72.6/150). If I bring that game to the qualifier I'll do fine.

What does this have to do with swinging the clubhead? Let's stay on topic here! Furthermore, I could shoot 78 on bad day. What's the big deal? :D I would also recommend not messing with your swing before a tournament. Just play. The more you hype yourself for it the more likely when you have a couple bad holes the faster you'll mentally crash. Then it's all over. In all seriousness, I started playing my best golf when I realized it was a game and just playing is the best way to score low. TRYING to play well...you'll never have a chance.

Deadly,

Your assumption of the Ambrose is correct. They are popular over here for corporate days as you can mix golfers with choppers and still not hold up play too much. They are also more fun for choppers than having to spend half their day looking for their ball and the other half adding up their score on an abacus. Personally I think they are gimmicky and I avoid them like the plague on weekends. I am more a traditionalist and prefer individual stroke play, or stableford if I must. I agree with Kiwi that they can be heaps of fun, especially if you get in a good group, but with my limited time allocated to golf these days, I find that I feel like I've wasted a Saturday if I play in one. Co-incidentally, the only event I've won at my home club lately has been an ambrose.

Zo, your resume of TO was fairly omprehensive, but you forgot to put in 'Zach Jonhson fan'.

Wow.

Another post full of personal insults.

Tell us, Larry: back when you were using your handicap of "6" as proof of how well your methods were working, why did you never mention that your handicap was a complete fraud?

You made your handicap an issue.

You told everyone your handicap id number so that people could see it.

Now you're just pissed because you've got a new handicap chairman and he is apparently not letting you pull any more fast ones.

:)

When you are swinging a clubhead on a string during the backswing does it fall down (gravity) and hit you on the head?

It looks like Larry can't even break 100 on chopper courses. Did you notice the course ratings? Either he is playing easy chopper courses, or maybe he is playing in veterans events where the tees are 100 yards shorter.

P.S. Larry, just make sure you categorise yourself as a 100's shooter if you post on the reviews section so the public can treat your reviews with the contempt they deserve.

[QUOTE=ripit35]but centrifugal force will push the clubface out, unless you hold it with your forearms, clubhead doesn't travel in a circle on the downswing. it's an oval. You don't create lag with your hips, and if your shoulders lead your arms, you are coming over the top. Everything is connected and should stay connected throughout the swing, saying one thing leads another is disconnecting the components of the swing, you are a dipshit.[/QUOTE]

While I agree with the overall post I do need to throw in that centrifical forces are in competition with centrifugal forces in the swing model. In an circular model there is accelerating along the target line and acceleration (prime) in towards the origin (a point in the middle of the circle). In a oval shape its complicated by the fact that the level of physics required is far beyond people that floss their teeth and remember to put on clothes.

The principal point is that the argument about forces is not easily testable and therefore cannot be discussed as a matter of fact.

The bottom line is that Larryrsf is a DB who should be treated like a whack a mole. Everytime his head pokes up, use the mallet to put him away.

[QUOTE=jt1135]When you are swinging a clubhead on a string during the backswing does it fall down (gravity) and hit you on the head?[/QUOTE]

If you are swinging centrifugally the clubhead won't hit you until the string finishes wrapping itself around your neck.

Well I agree with the idea that Larry's only thought about pretty much anything is what's in it for Larry.

Alan seems to provide the correct explanation here. Larry's shamelessness about posting supposedly incorrect scores is because he's actually posting correct scores now whereas in the past he was fraudulently posting low scores.

So he bears guilt from his past actions and welcomes punishment. Larry's been bad and so he comes here to get spanked. There's usually a sexual undercurrent in these things.

I thought this thread turned more into reaching 300, 400 post. This has as much to do with this as HB's f'd up grip.

thanks for the advice.

WOW this thread is an unstoppable juggernaut. It only seems 5 minutes ago that we cracked 200 but here we are at 255 and we're still swinging the clubhead. 300 is now a formality.

[QUOTE=collegegolfer]What does this have to do with swinging the clubhead? Let's stay on topic here! [/QUOTE]

That's some good advice, CG.

I'm shopping for a car right now. The used car market here is unbelievable. One year old cars with 5,000 miles for about 60% of what they'd have fetched new. I'll probably go in that direction. And you can get certified used taking the warranty up to 100,000 and 6 years.

The only must for me is a nav system.

Speaking of swinging the clubhead, SoCal legend, midget, and trainer of the stars Eddie Merrins suggests swinging the handle as opposed to the clubhead. Lareryye, how do you explain the discrepancy of your method to the legendary Little Pro?

BMW, Audi, what's your flavor? You could probably get a great deal on anything GM but I personally can't stand American cars. I tried on of those retro T-birds a couple of years ago and it was a piece. I didn't like the ride. It was like driving a boat; if you wanted to make a turn you had to start thinking about it for 2 blocks. I knew the suspension was total crap when I bought it but being an Audi/BMW owner I mistakenly thought that there would be plenty of aftermarket suspension upgrades - wrong. The POS was in the shop 4 times in one year. The only thing I like about the car was the trunk. I could fit two sets of clubs and two decent size suitcases.

I've been looking at a certified A3 for a commuter car. It has 1200 miles with a full factory warranty and an additional aftermarket warranty.

What about little Moe Norman? He's a golfing god and a great instructor with an IQ that rivals our RarrieLSF's. I love his common sense approach "you put this dumb guy," points at the club head, "on that dumb guy," points at the ball, "into that dumb guy," points at the sky, "into that dumb guy," points at the flag. Translation, feel the club head and quite thinking about all of the other shiat. I could definitely see him rehearsing slow thai chi swings in his back yard with some ribbon like Lorrie does.

I've also taken to his "MOS" - More of the Same saying when I hit a great shot. I even got my playing partners saying it.

I may be making a logical leap, but both Moe Norman and Alan are Canadian, so Larry undoubtedly thinks anything coming out of Rain Man Norman's mouth is utter crap.
Did you like your Audi? I test drove both the A6 3.2 and 4.2 a few months back when I was looking at cars. I thought the smaller engine was pretty weak and the bigger engine was overpriced to other comparable cars like a 530. Decided to buy a house instead.

I own 2 audi's. 2001 S4 and the wife has the 2008 TT with the 3.2. It's been a couple of years since I've driven a BMW. The BMW's are more of a drivers car while I think the audi's are more of a touring vehicle. Since I live in the NW I prefer the quattro over the x series.

As Zo mentioned this is a buyers market for luxury used cars if you have the cash.

House is definitely a better choice of an investment.

Another point is that Moe and Larrie probably have very similar personalities and would obviously hate each other for the go.

I like bananas.

And did I mention I look good without a shirt?

If I was having the most amazing f-session ever and somehow the image of a GM car popped into my head, it would be over. It's personal taste but they're repulsive looking. It's as though they're constantly trying to create what Rosie O'Donnell would look like if she were a car.

My experiences driving them is based on rentals, which may not be fair, but they seem too unrefined to consider even if they weren't fugly.

Friends of mine drive Audis and really like them. I'm going to take a look. What I like about the Bimmers is they have two levels of traction control. If you disable the first level you're able to slide, lay rubber (optimal start acceleration-wise not dumb-ass teen move) and have a little fun. If you disable the second, it sends a signal to BMW and they have your local cemetary prepare a grave for you. Maybe Audis have them as well.

I think guys here in OC thought they needed a Bimmer to get some and now that they can't make payments they're plentiful and cheap (the cars not the women).

Tsk-tsk

Try and stay 'on topic' fellas.

I'm confused. Are we or are we not resurrecting "swing the clubhead?" Did I miss the poll?

I dunno but well done for ressurecting 'Lets swing the clubhead' the thread. It is sad to see such a classic thread stranded agonisingly close to an epic 300 posts.

It appears the author and creator has gone on hiatus and taken Alan with him leaving this thread stalled on 267 posts.

I'm all about resurrecting this resurrection thread, but it loses some its luster since Larry/Alan aren't around anymore. I think my theory that Larry and Alan are the same person has some legs given the timing of their departures.

Now who else do we know that would create multiple personalities and have them spar against each other?

Lorenzo, is that bet still good if we hit 300 posts?

I actually mentioned that to her and she kind of looked at me funny. But at the same time I could tell she kind of wants to. So the condition of her approval still exists, but I'd give it my best. That said, she knows her picture has been in my personal info here, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

I believe Larry and Alan have gone somewhere else and continue their never ending battle. Good luck to both of them !

Relax everyone,

Larry's back in the non golf forum stirring things up with his anti Obama, right-wing diatribe. I'm expecting Alan to re-appear there any time.

OK, I am going to make an executive decision here. We as a forum, ARE resurrecting "swing the clubhead." So....at your next round, announce to your playing partners that you are, in fact, "swinging the clubhead"....I guess.

Sorry, but I was away for a family funeral.

Larry can rant all he wants about Obama. He'll be just as wrong as he's been...

...every other time he's written pretty much anything.

We thought your ISP had disconnected you and you were doing hard labour in a Canadian gulag. At least that's what Larry tried to tell us:

[url]http://forums.golfreview.com/showthread.php?p=164998#poststop[/url]

Do they provide internet access from Canadian hard labour camps?

This thread reached 100 posts in record time, blazed its way to 200 and 250 was up in short order. 300 seemed a formality but now it is barely going to limp to the finish line. Unless of course Larry finds his second wind(bag), then 350 is likely and 400 a possibility.

300 posts would certainly be a crowning achievement. I've never seen any threads gt anywhere near that i my time here.

Although I think HB could have cracked it easily with his highly controversial religion thread if it wasn't closed down.

[QUOTE=lorenzoinoc]Are you kidding, HB, 4,000 posts is resume material. What employer or financier wouldn't be impressed? I also find it useful when I meet the ladies. I always let it drop that I have over 3,000 posts on a golf forum. I know it's not as impressive as 4,000, so I try and act really modest about it.

Congratulations in advance on the 4,000. You should have your wife throw you a party or something.[/QUOTE]

Well you could always lie and say you have 4000 posts. Just don't tell people your handle and then personally insult them when they realize that you're a complete fraud.

I hadn't thought of that. If 4,000 doesn't close the deal, I'll try 5,000.

Welcome me to this thread. I want to be a part of this historical moment. Anyways thought about," Swing the clubhead!" I suck lately with my irons,and I,m grasping, I feel the strokes coming off already, from reading some of Larrys post. weeee

My infamous religion thread has 3 times as many reference posts as actual posts.
So Lawrriey is now only posting in the NGF? Maybe one of the moderators can move one of his rants to the Golf forum so he's lured back.

I'm kinda disappointed he hasn't come back to stir this pot up more either on this thread or anywhere or another. I figured he would have come across at least another 9 or 10 awful swing thoughts.

I think it was the threads that spawned your religion thread that are the memorable classics and the credit from those seem to be attributed to the Religion Thread which in fact never got off the ground before it was shut down way too early.

Wow this is my 2,999th post. Better bide my time and make sure my 3,000th one is a memorable one. I'd like to try and coincide it with the 300th post on this classic.

Kiwi, as someone who has passed the infamous 3K, let me pass on some sage advice. Don't put any extra thought into your 3000th. Don't wait for this thread to hit 300. Just let it happen naturally. Remember when you lost your virginity (human or sheep)? That likely had significance. Your 3000th was just another roll in the hay with the missus.

Just out of curiosity, what is the record for posts on a thread?

It's bigger than any of the stickied posts up top by a considerable amount.

Anyone think that if we start talking garbage about Larry it may provoke a response from him?

I'm new to these boards, but this epic thread alone is worth the registration.

Viva la Larry.

Kiwi - I'm a little concerned that you're obviously waiting to make post 300 on this thread. Did you know if someone decides to delete a prior post after you're no. 300, you move to 299 and can never get back to 300.

And you need your sleep. It's not worth the endless vigil. I guess the good news is you can always delete prior posts of yours if you get there late and you're no. 301. I hope that isn't why some of us are padding this thread. Just so we can back into 300.

So you're taking on a bit of a sticky wicket. Good luck.

Lorenzo

Did I mention I look good without a shirt?

Kiwi, this is getting ridiculous. NaH needs you as a moral compass. Have some compassion.

I was going to play a round yesterday afternoon. I announced to my playing partners that I was "swinging the clubhead" in an effort to resurrect it. Swinging the clubhead, that is, They proceeded to beat me without mercy for what seemed like an hour. They left me on the first tee box lying in a pool of my own blood and urine.

#298, now in the books. HS, swinging the clubhead is a deeply spiritual and peaceful act. You NEVER proclaim it to the unwashed masses.

THREADBOMBER!


Damn I'm good at stealing milestones... :D

Your permanent place in history is not secure. As long as we all have posts we can delete.

I foresee you'll be deleting what was once 300 in an attempt to achieve it with a later post.

I can demonstrate if necessary.

You can steal my stolen milestone, but my thunder will roll on forever.

Damn, did you ever drop the ball with this post. Let me offer you some sage advice from someone who has crossed the 4K milestone. Your 3000th post is a special event that must be doted upon and thought through with great care. Remember when you lost your virginity? Number 3000 is like that. 1-2999 were just masturbation, dry humping, or pathetic handjobs in the back of your mom's station wagon. Way to blow it...
